How to get GET query string variables in Express js on Node js

Question

Can we get the variables in the query string in Node.js just like we get them in $_GET in PHP?

I know that in Node.js we can get the URL in the request. Is there a method to get the query string parameters?

Hello @kartik,

Since you've mentioned Express.js in your tags, use req.query. E.g.

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.send('id: ' + req.query.id);
});

app.listen(3000);

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
